I'd rather stick to working in the Ubuntu community rather than trying to stretch out to any and all FOSS device users. Why not Nokia N800 users? Why not Motorola Z6 owners?
I think a better opportunity for this type of excitement/action is the netbook remix users. The people who use these could possibly see an advantage in using the same software on the desktop as their 'netbook' (depending on how/what the manufacturers implement). But thats a while down the road. dan On Tue, Jun 10, 2008 at 11:10 PM, John Botscharow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > On Tue, 10 Jun 2008 21:39:13 -0500 > "Hal Wilke" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > It may be far fetched to think that you can get contact info for > > people who buy these FOSS phones, but it is not outlandish to think > > that the people who by them are not going to be perspective adopters > > of other open source softwares.
